Value Collection .75x01.0X12 1018 Steel Flat Bar 12 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION .75x01.0X12 is a cold finished 1018 steel flat bar measuring 0.75 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 12 inches long. Cold finishing produces tighter dimensional tolerances, a smoother surface finish, and improved machinability compared to hot rolled bar stock. 1018 is a low-carbon steel grade known for consistent weldability, good case-hardening response, and predictable machining behavior. This bar weighs 3.3 pounds and ships in a single-piece package quantity. It is commonly used by machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople for brackets, shafts, keys, jigs, and structural repair stock.

This flat bar suits light fabrication, maintenance repair operations, and prototype work in commercial and industrial environments. The 12-inch length makes it practical for bench work, manual machining, or cutting to final dimension on a bandsaw or cold saw. Tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical installations use small steel bar stock for mounting brackets, custom supports, and hardware fabrication when off-the-shelf components are not available.

Key Features

• Cold finished process delivers tighter tolerances and a cleaner surface than hot rolled stock
• 1018 low-carbon steel grade offers reliable weldability and good machinability
• Compact 12-inch length suits bench-top cutting, drilling, and shaping tasks
• 0.75 inches thick by 1 inch wide cross section fits standard flat bar stock applications
• Single-piece package quantity with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold finished 1018 steel flat bar suitable for light fabrication, repair, and machining applications across trade and industrial settings.

Installation Notes

This bar stock is worked by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance tradespeople using standard metalworking tools including bandsaws, drill presses, lathes, and angle grinders. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when cutting or grinding. Deburr all cut edges before installation in any structural or mechanical assembly. Welding this 1018 grade material is straightforward with common MIG or stick processes, but follow applicable AWS codes for structural applications.
